            I just can't believe that instead of leaving uninterested young people to their own devices, the Tories have kicked up a reason for youngsters to get voter ID and vote against them.

            Really

              Nobody who can vote in July will have to do it. Will take a few years to get through parliament and a few more years to setup.

                Stupid thing is there is already a citizens volunteering service, both our eldest kids did it and thoroughly enjoyed their time. The ethnicities of the participants appeared quite diverse.

                Bringing the military into it seems silly. when they could just fund an expansion of this and a few smiling successful faces. They need to bring those that are not getting involved in.
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  Tories know they will lose. In desperation for a few extra votes they will pledge, workhouses, hanging and flogging

                    You're certainly right about the first bit.
